CCTV captured the hilarious moment a suspected burglar walked into a glass window after a gang smashed their way in to a bar with a sledgehammer.

Bean Coffee and Cocktails shared CCTV footage of the moment the bungling thief got their just desserts on social media after the cafe in St Paul’s Square, Liverpool was burgled in the early hours of Monday morning.

One of the owners, Jon Whyte, 37, said the footage showed the man getting a “little bit of karma” and had made the team smile after what was a “rubbish morning” in the wake of the break-in.

He told the ECHO: “I got a call from 24-hour security about 1am.

“A group had broken in with a sledgehammer and spent ages getting the safe out of the floor and making off with it.
